Re: Expedition/Pick-Up

The rules are more or less the same for extradition from one state to another. The holding state will allow extradition to another state if it is satisfied that the person held is the person sought; that the offense charged in the charging state is a crime and not a petty offense in the holding state and that there are adequate proofs that the person held was present in the charging state or at least had sufficient contact with the charging state on the date the offense is alleged to have occurred.

The holding state usually requires that the person held be picked up within some specified time and failing same the person is either released on bail or the holding state dismisses the fugitive warrant issued in the holding state on which the person held is being held for extradition to the charging state.
